Case Study: Balfour Beatty Construction achieves time and cost savings with Autodesk BIM 360 Field

Balfour Beatty Construction takes field management to the point of construction with Autodesk BIM 360 Field

Balfour Beatty Construction, a U.S. commercial construction leader, needed to modernize field management—streamlining QA/QC, commissioning, punchlists and safety while standardizing procedures and improving cross‑project visibility. After evaluating vendors, the firm's IT and operations teams piloted Autodesk BIM 360 using the cloud-based mobile service Autodesk BIM 360 Field to put project workflows on iPads and support enterprise-scale field management.

Autodesk BIM 360 delivered mobile, cloud-hosted document libraries, checklists, issue creation/sign-off and tracking, and BIM-enabled commissioning workflows, giving real‑time visibility into field status across projects. Balfour Beatty approved company‑wide rollout and reported measurable results: project schedule time shaved, people‑hours on key field management processes cut almost in half, faster issue documentation, standardized QC plans, and improved commissioning and handover.
